Matt BourneApr 15, 2026"Spies Like Us" sets out to achieve a lot, perhaps too much, and unfortunately feels somewhat aimless despite its impressive star power. Moreover, like almost all Chevy Chase movies, it suffers from a distinct Chevy Chase problem. Visually, Landis directs the film like a…

Profiting from the personalities of its stars, John Landis' "Spies Like Us" is a lot of inconsequential fun. A cold war comedy that brims with mid-1980s style, Landis' film has multiple memorable moments but not much staying power. Its an above-average romp, however, that…
Travis LytleMar 30, 2014I always struggle reviewing comedies because it's hard to distinguish between jokes I don't personally find funny and jokes which just aren't funny objectively (because of poor setup, execution, etc.). I think Spies Like Us is the former (jokes which are funny but not to…

Russian Interregator #2: Every minute you don't tell us why you are here, I cut off a finger. Emmett Fitz-Hume: Mine or yours? Russian Interregator #2: Yours. Emmett Fitz-Hume: Damn! I must have seen this a dozen times on HBO as a kid. Still hilarious 😂

Lynn BettsJan 22, 2021not sure who this was for, but so many directors randomly have cameos in this movie, including joel coen, costa-gavras, michael apted, frank oz, terry gilliam, and sam raimi. bob hope and b.b. king also have cameos. WHY. in the credits, ronald reagan is credited as…

Second John Landis film in one year. Not as good as Into the Night but it is fun. Solid comedic performances from Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase and a fun supporting cast. Doesn’t reinvent the genre but stands as a very solid instalment

There are seeds of something funny in the film's beginning and in its premise, but they are soon dissipated by so little sustained wit, and so much scenery.
